This is a darkly comic book....I used to get it from the library to listen to every year - now I've bought my own !
I listened to it about a week ago and I find it absolutely hilarous every time - I have to stop my work at the bench ( I'm a jeweller) as I am laughing so hard tears pour down my face - I LOVE it ! Paul Hecht is the most wonderful actor - he brings all these fantastic characters to life - this audio book is definitely worth buying !
